Discussion Thread: House Jan 6 Public Hearings, Day 1 - 06/09/2022 at 8 pm ET

The House Jan. 6 Select Committee is holding public hearings on the Capitol Insurrection, beginning tonight at 8 pm ET. The nine-member panel plans to present an overview of their 11-month investigation that has interviewed over 1,000 people and reviewed 125,000 records. Unlike typical committee hearings, the televised event is expected to feature multimedia presentations with previously unseen footage, in addition to the more traditional witness testimony.

Tonight's hearing is expected to be an introduction to set the groundwork for subsequent hearings, and will focus on the violent far-right extremists who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Announced Witnesses:

Caroline Edwards, U.S. Capitol Police officer who suffered a brain injury during the insurrection
Nick Quested, British documentary filmmaker whose team captured the first insurrectionist violence against Capitol Police officers

The Committee is expected to hold about six hearings in total. The next event is scheduled for Monday, June 13, at 10 am ET, and there will be a full report in September.

It's Saturday, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons in this thread. Besides our usual civility policy, there are three rules to follow:

Every top-level comment must contain a political cartoon. This means no text-only top-level comments.
It must be an original cartoon. This means no photographs, no edited cartoons, no templates, no memes and no image macros. OC is allowed, as is animation.
Each top-level comment should only have a maximum of 3 cartoons.

That's all. Enjoy your weekend!
